Free fall lab

Purpose: To predict the ranking of terminal velicities of 5 various items


Data:

item -- mass -- predicted rank --- velocity before it hits --- actual ranks



Questions:

1. Compare the final velocities to the masses of the various objects. Did the mass seem to effect the final velocity? Give 2 examples.


2. What items reached terminal velocity? How do you know?

3. What items did not reach terminal velocity? How do you know?
